Jason Posted July 8, 2007 Share Sorry to hear steve, I got pulled over by the metro police this weekend up old JHB road. The cop told me I was going to fast and that my tyres were smooth... Conti 4000's are pretty smooth. Sarcastically I told him he must be the funniest man I've ever come across... He was not impressed... all this while AMG's and M3's were speeding past. Just shows you that SA's a BIG joke....run by BIG monkeys! Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/6812-warning/#findComment-128123 Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve Posted July 8, 2007 Share Funny thing is that they didn't seem interested in the bike at all - not even the tubby bag. All they wanted was money and cell phone Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/6812-warning/#findComment-128148 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammajoor Posted July 8, 2007 Share Funny thing is that they didn't seem interested in the bike at all - not even the tubby bag.
